I'm a member of a forum
Which is very good to me
They keep reading all my stuff
Though awful it may be
It helps me to keep going
And to make my problems pass
Although I'm sure a few of them
Think me a pain in the ass
But bashing on regardless
Is what it's all about
So I shall keep on writing
At least it costs you nowt
Poetry in motion Don
That is what you are
Everything is touched upon
Be it near or far
You simply are the very best
But that I think you know
You’re our Don, forget the rest
Because we love you so.
Well done Don! 🥰💕💖
Another wonderful one Cap'n - just donning my proofreaders hat again, would you consider adding an extra " . " to the three full stops you already have otherwise it doesn't really rhyme . . . . just like that really? xx
Are you sure you picked up the right hat Margaret? I stopped bothering with punctuation some time ago. I have filled in the missing word. It seemed pretentious thinking ass was a inappropriate word these days.
Love your Words & Inspiration Don, Now aspiring a New List of Poemists(Carole) for 2 in our Forum family. Your Grasshopper being No.1 ( if I don't say that, he will berate me) Ha Ha. Gold medal for you Don. Hugs XXX
Bless you Don, Love your poetry, you are a very valuable member of the community, keep the rhyms coming, we all appreciate you and your gift very much xox
Keep on writing your not a pain in the *** you are a great asset to the forum. Have a lovely day. Stay dry. Puring down in Birmingham
You are not a pain in the **** at all, Don. If your rhymes keep you going that's great as they cheer us all up too. Long may you continue xx
You are never a pain Don. Keep them coming x
Love your rhymes, they're one of the highlights of my day 😊
Always waiting for your rhymes Don keep them coming ❤️💕X
So our master thinks he's a pain in the arse
But we just think he's a touch of class
We wouldn't want a gent to propper
Say Scruffy cat and his grasshopper. 
You realise rhyming class with arse reveals quite a lot about you? 😅
Perhaps majji would want me to change it to Clarse?
Tell us more Cap'n x
Hope you and Scruffs are wrapped up warm
LOL MrDON! You motivate people! Your poetry is exciting..every time! JANET127
I’m wondering what medication you are on over there Janet. 😘x
Poetry in motion Mr D, just love reading them and love your humour with Skis just as much x
Hows midge .?
She is being a little ******. Last night I sat for ages pretending to eat very expensive Royal Canin Satiety dog food because she refuses to eat anything that I won't eat myself. This is a battle of nerves which could easily result in us both starving to death! 😠
She knew you were faking come on havent you figured out how much smarter they are than us? I have big dog she would’ve taken her paw and pushed my face in the plate and said” hmm that’s whatcha get mom don’t think yer slick”
Makes my day to read your poems xxx
Oh wow that was so cool like you aren’t as strict and stern as I imagine you to be but then I’ve seen pics of you cruising your van by the beach with a pup an a doll and think 🤔 maybe this guy is sort of a layed back professor type that spent a lot of time in college as a student then a teacher🤷♀️am I close?🤙🏼Is that a familiar gesture to you? Or 🏄♂️ I have shared the water with some really amazing surfers from UK but don’t know if it’s the same area as all you guys since geography and history are not my strong points. But I do love your work just don’t quit your day job😂😂 that is a joke it’s nothing offensive unless you intend it to be. Please forgive my ignorance in not knowing what kind of humor y’all find acceptable and what you consider offensive
Sorry Sandyeggo you are a long way off the truth about me, apart from the van, the pup and the knitted doll (now been joined by her sister). You are going to have to read a lot more of my poems/rhymes to get a better picture. You will find I’m more likely to offend than be offended.😎
Ha ha, Now you can answer to Professor Don, Oh Master of Words & Ski's, made me Giggle. XXX
I can’t retrieve that much of your past work to put it together except you like to eat and whatever the heck cottage pie is you seem to be a big fan. If you’re in Southern CA,USA this Thursday be sure to stop by my house where there will be a turkey, candied yams,, green bean casserole, mash potatoes and then there will be mine- the healthy food, close your eyes this might hurt: banana, pineapple, green apple, blueberry, raspberries. No added sugars or carbs( unless I commit sin and put whipped cream on top! Plain yogurt would be the healthy choice. And then there will be a few of our kids in their mid and late 30’s, not too interested in them but they will bring my grand dogs and they will get to play like dogs are supposed to but they work and their dogs are alone all day. My girl McKinley is a large 75lb wolf-dog and highly trained, never alone, will let the little dogs jump all over her and bite her big fur until she’s had enough then she’ll snap in their direction to settle them down, their humans will freak out, I’ll remind them how it’s HER house and she’s never hurt them or any other but she will have her say. She just turned 10, she’s a licensed Assistance service animal an she’s gettin tired of the whole”My moms disabled so I have to walk right here so none of you clumsy humans bump into her” thing so I told her she could retire she rejected the idea. So go ahead tell me your story if I’m so far off✌🏻
The chances of me being in Southern CA, USA next Thursday are somewhat remote, Sandyeggo , but if I am I shall most certainly stop by your house, thank you. I’m sure that whilst munching some of that excellent food there will be plenty of time for me to tell you all about myself. Until then my very best wishes to you, your family and your dog McKinley. 👍🤜🤛
Make sure you do carry on there would be a gap of welcome posts if you didn’t
It’s no good pretending to eat the special dog food Don, Midge isn’t daft, you have to really eat it. It might be very tasty and nutritious!
I can't afford to eat that! 😲
Cap'n - When I did a little research into Royal Canin Dog Food I was not impressed - please check this out :

Midge is not wrong! x
Look forward to reading your poetry Don, long may it last x😊😊
Thank you, that's good to hear. 😀
I look forward to all of your poems - certainly don't think of you as a pain in the ass; thank you again for keep posting them x
Shhhh! Don't say that too loud, or the Government will find a way to tax it! 🙄
